#151 - The Great Double Album Debate (Top 5 Double Albums)
This week on Riff Worship we take a deep dive into the history and eventual “demise” of the double album! From the introduction of the LP in 1948 to an era of pivotal releases ushered in by Bob Dylan’s Blonde on Blonde, we’ll explore the evolution of the format while attempting to answer several key questions.
What actually defines a double album? Is it a matter of intent or runtime? Are they necessary? Can a "true" double album exist in the age of digital streaming?
We also weigh in with our personal Top 5 Favorite Double Albums—the records that pushed artistic boundaries, mastered the conceptual narrative, and made every single minute count!
